    For a moment, I was judging your choice to paint a bright blue line around each window. I thought it was trim 🤣. Anyways, looks awesome! I’d love to see it a photo with the tape removed!

      Honestly, the blue trim as a highlight with the brown door works pretty well in my eyes

      I don’t bother taping around window panes like that because I find that I can scrape the paint off the glass with a razor scraper pretty much just as fast.

      (I suppose it might depend on the pane size, since positioning pieces of tape gets more efficient as the length of the pieces gets longer. A big window is probably worth taping off.)

        Whoever painted my house before I lived in it clearly thought that too, half my windows have scratches and gouges in them the rest I had to clean myself with acetone.

      I see a gen1 Skoda Yeti I guess. They had dsg transmission issues fixed later in gen2. I had a gen2 car, and it was a great pleasure to drive it. These are kinda dull facts, but I am not sorry.

      Gotta watch out for those; somebody could doxx OP using that information.

      (Not that it’s likely, given that this is !dull_mens_club, after all, but ya never know!)

      Dulux Weathershield. I skimped on the preparation, which is why it doesn’t look as good as it could do. I only sanded using 80 and didn’t bother with primer.

    There’s not been a surface that took less than 3 coats on my property so far lol, I feel your pain.

    Unless you like painting of course! Looks good.
